Suzanne Murlin introduced Cara Muhlenkamp of the Mercer County Fair Board.

Cara spoke at length about the upcoming fair and how it has been improved over past years. She also spoke briefly about the Pace Center and what it would do for Mercer County.

Freedom Days.

Our volunteers all showed up by 11 AM on Saturday the 5th of July as planned and assumed their assigned positions at the various inflatables. All went well and, speaking for myself and partner Ken Rosengarten, had a great time. That is, until 1 PM when we were supposed to be relieved by the next group of volunteers. We waited and waited but no relief. Betty Leininger, of Asset Allocation, the sponsors of the inflatables, showed up and told us that the group that was to relieve us was a total no-show and asked us to keep on working until she could come up with relief personnel. I don't know how she did it but in a very short time everyone was relieved by someone else. She did a fantastic job to come up with so many people in such a short time. Great job, Betty.
